S. Köhler is a 29-year-old full-back at Grasshoppers, rated 26.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 170th of 200 on scout potential in the Super League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (59.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.11 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Köhler.

Judged on this season alone, Köhler graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 42 of the 42 full-backs in the Super League, on 2 clean sheets and 4.11 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 39th of 42 of the 42 full-backs in the Super League. At 29 Köhler is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.1, Köhler carries the 39th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League of 42 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
